Consumers handle risk by:
- Seeking information e.g. word of mouth or advertisements
- Brand loyalty e.g. stay loyal to a chosen brand
- Brand image e.g. evaluate brand based on its image (reputation)
- Store image e.g. evaluate the layout and look of the store
- Most expensive e.g. purchase most expensive product as price is assumed to be an indicator of product quality
- Seek assurance e.g. promise or guarantee that the product is of a sufficient standard

Consumer risk is the probability that a product will be manufactured that is defective and shipped to the customer. A person with a customer-only focus will typically want to have a very small consumer risk. A person with a producer-only focus typically is not very concerned with consumer risk. Low consumer risk can sometimes be accomplished by rigorous testing and quality control, which, when carried to an extreme in order to reach zero consumer risk, can lead to very expensive products.Producer risk is the probability that a product will be manufactured that is good, but is rejected by the manufacturer's internal quality control processes before it is shipped to the customer. A person with a producer-only focus will typically want to have a very small producer risk. A person with a consumer-only focus typically is not very concerned with producer risk. Low producer risk can be accomplished by lax testing and quality control, which, when carried to an extreme in order to reach zero producer risk, can lead to very poorly-performing or non-yielding products.The key to high yielding and reliable products is in achieving a balance between these two sometimes-competing goals.

Handles of testers are made of non-metals, typically plastics, to minimize the risk of electric shock when using the tester on live electrical circuits. Non-metal materials are insulators, preventing the flow of electricity and providing safety to the user. Additionally, non-metal handles are more lightweight and easy to grip compared to metal handles.
The duty of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is to help the public reduce risk of injuries and deaths from consumer products. They issue mandatory standards for certain products.
"Some of the consumer reviews for those who bought a used Toyota MR2 are that it is a fun car to drive, it is very sporty and still handles well. Some found this car to be a little out of place if driven in the snow."
